产品特点 FEATURES

1 DC 2-wire cylindrical inductive proximity sensor with built-in amplifier, non-shielded threaded type (model GX-18MLUB-J)

2 Long sensing range: 1.6 times longer than conventional models, allowing sufficient mounting distance to avoid collision between sensor and object

3 Enhanced structural stability: Thick case design increases tightening torque to approximately 4 times that of conventional models, preventing loosening due to vibration or shock

4 Visible operation indicator: Normally open type features a 2-color indicator (green for stable sensing, orange for unstable), while normally closed type uses an operation indicator (orange); the entire tail lights up for easy observation from any direction

5 Cost-effective wiring: DC 2-wire configuration significantly reduces wiring costs; pigtailed models (with 300mm cable and connector) are available for quick replacement

6 Spatter-resistant option: Entire enclosure coated with fluorine resin (including cable) for safe use in welding environments with flying spatters

7 Robust environmental resistance: IP67 (IEC) and IP67g (JEM) protection ratings; operates in temperatures from -25°C to +70°C, withstands vibration (10-55Hz,1.5mm amplitude XYZ axes for 2h each) and shock (1000m/s² acceleration in XYZ axes 3 times each)

8 Stable sensing performance: Temperature characteristics within ±10% of sensing range at 20°C; voltage characteristics within ±2% for ±10% supply voltage fluctuation

使用场景 APPLICATIONS

1 Industrial conveyor systems: Detecting traveling aluminum pallets with long-range capability for reliable sensing

2 Machine tools: Controlling drilling depth by detecting the position of the machine's dog component

3 Welding stations: Positioning workpieces in environments with flying welding sparks (using spatter-resistant type)

4 Automotive assembly lines: Checking presence of metal parts (e.g., bolts, panels) to ensure proper assembly

5 Packaging equipment: Counting metal items passing on the production line for accurate quantity control

6 Material handling systems: Detecting metal components in automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS) to confirm position

注意事项 PRECAUTIONS

1 Safety note: This is an object detection sensor, not a safety sensor; do not use it to protect life or property from machinery hazards

2 Mounting guidelines: Follow specified tightening torque (avoid over-tightening); keep sufficient distance from surrounding metal to prevent range interference; do not embed non-shielded type in metal

3 Wiring instructions: Always connect to power via a load (no load triggers short-circuit protection; reverse polarity without load damages the sensor)

4 Sensing range considerations: For non-ferrous metals (aluminum: ~0.43, brass: ~0.44, SUS304: ~0.67), multiply standard range by correction coefficients; smaller objects reduce sensing range

5 Indicator usage: Normally open type green light = stable sensing, orange = unstable; normally closed type orange light = operation status

6 Environmental protection: Avoid using within first 50ms after power-on; use protection cover (MS-H18) for welding (no gap between cover and surface); no stress on cable joint for moving bases

7 Cable extension: Extend up to total 50m with ≥0.3mm² wire; residual voltage increases with longer cables
